Matty Healy and Azealia Banks kept the tension going with another heated back-and-forth on Tuesday

The drama began when Banks criticized Charli

Healy, whose bandmate George Daniel is engaged to Charli, responded with a scathing response: “All the women you’re attacking seem to be culturally relevant, attractive, divisive, nice people.” I think that makes you jealous because you’re like that you’re talented, but everything else about you is a failure. Just rap, bro.’

After Banks compared Healy to Frankenstein, things quickly escalated.

Taylor Swift’s ex initially bragged about wanting to “slap” Banks and made an overly dramatic threat: “I’m going to hit you so hard I get a Guinness World Record for highest rat call by a bitch.” ‘A wig.’ has ever flown.’

Realizing the inappropriateness of his outburst, Healy quickly backed down and apologized: “No, I can’t say I’m going to hit a girl who’s crazy, I’m sorry.” “You just can’t be that mean all the time to my mates and my wife, it’s really hurtful and puts me on the defensive.”

He then deleted the threatening tweet and admitted that it “wasn’t cool even when I was angry.”

This latest clash follows their previous confrontation when Healy first responded to Banks’ criticism of Charli XCX’s SNL performance earlier this month.

When Banks accused Charli of doing a “lazy” rendition of Ciara’s 1, 2 Step, Healy shot back: “Shut up, you fucking idiot. Being more annoying than me is actually impressive.”

Fans will no doubt remember Azealia’s fiery tirade against Swift’s former boyfriend in May 2023.

This happened around the same time that Swift and Healy became romantically linked, shortly after Swift’s split from Joe Alwyn.

Taylor and Matty were spotted holding hands and kissing in New York City.

Despite their initial chemistry and public appearances, their relationship was short-lived, only lasting about a month before they broke up in June 2023.

Azeala’s attack on Healy appeared to be inspired by Healy’s seemingly racist comments he made about rapper Ice Spice during an appearance on the Adam Friedland Podcast.

Banks shared a photo of Healy on stage with his arms outstretched and a caption referencing his onstage apology for his comments about Ice Spice when she insulted him in her text.

“Does Matt Healy know that no one actually believes that 1975 makes good music,” she wrote, even though the band’s last four albums landed in the top 10 of the Billboard 200 album chart, “and that he’s a lame poseur with a trash -stereotypical band is.” “Name that doesn’t actually mean anything and he’s obviously under so much pressure that a black girl who knows nothing about him or his music is doing more business and making more money than him,” she wrote seemingly referring to Ice Spice. 23.

She further bragged that “black women are more sought after in the industry these days because there is big business in female rap (sic).”

“He’s so obviously weak in the knees, skinny-cheeked and drug-addicted that it’s easy to catch his tight ass,” she added.

She suggested that Healy was doing the “little white, opinionated male musician thing,” but claimed that only musician Ariel Pink – who attended a pro-Trump rally in Washington, D.C. before the January 6 insurrection – could get away with it.

She also claimed that The 1975 was a derivative of 2000s band The Academy Is… and Death From Above 1979.

However, she said that the Healy band will “never” achieve the artistic success of that band because he is “not a star” and is also “not good at whatever that crappy indie Pitchfork darling fantasy is from the middle.” 2000s that you’re trying to sell.”

She concluded the post by praising Ice Spice for being “WAYS more original than ever before.”

“1975 is on no one’s radar, baby,” she added scathingly, before claiming that only “fat emo teenagers” listen to Healy’s music.

In a second text post, she simply wrote: “Matt Healy is one needle away from tetanus.”

Banks then added a blank screen on her Insta Stories with an audio post in which she described herself as a “really big music connoisseur.”

She told how she first heard The in 1975 and thought the band’s name was “cliched” and “cheesy”. She assumed the music would be “fabricated bulls***”, which fit with her feelings towards several “boy bands” of the late 2000s and 2010s.

She concluded by saying that her lack of knowledge of the band’s music suggests that it is not good and not popular.

Banks added a series of insults about Healy and his looks, and she told him to eat some vegetables and wash his hair, finally calling him a “fake Pete Doherty.”

The same audio post also contained a text post that had nothing to do with her narrative.

The 212 rapper referred to Taylor Swift and her nether regions in offensive sexual terms while calling Healy a “full incel” and writing that he wasn’t worthy of her.

She then suggested that Swift instead date James Mercer, the leader and songwriter of the popular indie rock band The Shins, who was apparently only taken in by Banks because he is a fan of his music and because The Shins and The 1975 both largely Indie music is rock bands.

Banks’ comments echo those of many Swift fans who have focused on Healy’s offensive comments in recent years.

Although he received backlash at the time, Healy’s comments on The Adam Friedland Show received new attention in February after he began dating Swift and showing up at her Era Tour concerts.

During his performance, Healy claimed he tried to message rapper Ice Spice on Instagram.

Along with Friedland and his co-host, comedian Nick Mullen, Healy appeared to confuse their heritage, referring to them as Inuit and Chinese and imitating and mocking the stereotypical accents of both ethnicities.

The podcast episode was later removed from both Spotify and Apple Music due to its offensive content.
